What a cracker of a contest this has been. At tea, it looked like were heading for the fifth day. With rain forecast, South Africa would have their prayers ready as well. They came out an inspired unit after tea, the spell from Steyn was one of the best ever and Australia simply had no answers. That means the 3-Test series will have a decider at Cape Town. Join us on March 1st for the winner takes all battle. For now, cheers and bye..

Duminy: 'I am speechless, good all-round performance from the bowlers, particularly the pacers. The reverse swing they managed to get was unbelievable. This century means a lot to me, I was under pressure to deliver with the bat. I guess being the only spinner meant I had to do a job, Robin was unlucky to miss out here, he has been a huge role model for me. We play hard on the field, but the mutual appreciation is always there.'

JP Duminy is the MoM for his 123

Smith: 'It has been amazing. It was a difficult week going into the game. The public and media were tough on us. We have performed incredibly well to win in 4 days, our bowlers have done a superb job. We know the quality of Dale Steyn, he has always been wonderful for us. The part-time spinners did a great job as well. We were a bit nervous, with reports of rain around tomorrow. It was a great crowd here, and they deserve the Boxing Day Test later this year. It has been a superb feeling to win, we are getting better, we had a long break and did not play well at Centurion. We had a few niggles, injuries and some sickness did not help us either. Nice to be going to Cape Town for the decider.'

Clarke: 'I think our first innings was crucial, SA played better. Steyn was class today, with the ball reversing. We knew we were up against a fantastic bowling unit, need to do some work before Cape Town. Nathan Lyon and Chris Rogers were wonderful. The next Test will be great, we need to work on a few of our issues, we are up for the decider.'

Presentation:

He dismissed Clarke and Smith in consecutive deliveries, and then knocked out Haddin's middle stump. Philander and Morkel did their bit, and Australia crashed from 141/1 at tea to 216 all-out.

It seemed to bite him as well with Australia getting off to a breezy start. 126 runs came in no time, as Warner and Rogers took a liking to the bowling. Duminy broke the stand, sending back Warner for 66 but at 141/1 at tea, no one could have thought this match was getting over today itself. In one sensational spell, Dale Steyn, who otherwise had had an ordianry time with the ball turned things around.

Hashim Amla took control in South Africa's 2nd innings, scoring a supremely well compiled 127*, also answering his critics in the best way possible. That helped Smith declare early today at 270/5, an overall lead of 447 runs. Heavy thunderstorms were predicted for tomorrow, and experts felt Smith left the declaration a bit too late.

The epitome of this South African comeback was their bowling though. The pace attack fired in unison restricting the visitors to just 246 in their first innings. Morkel was particularly threatening, and was unlucky not to have got more than 3 wickets. Wayne Parnell, back in the Test team grabbed two wickets in his very first Test, and later in the match played no further part, hobbling out with a groin injury.

Clarke looks dejected, so are some of the Australians in the dressing room. SA are delighted, the world number one team have bounced back in a superb fashion. They were written off at the start of the Test match, they batted first on a slow and low wicket, AB de Villiers and JP Duminy scored hundreds to steady the ship after the early blows. The twin tons took them to 423.

W

out Chris Rogers Run Out!! Tragedy for Australia, will SA wrap it up tonight? This was tossed up and on off, Rogers gets forward and drives it towards mid-off, decides to take on Petersen's arms, the fielder had just one stump to aim at, he makes a direct hit and Rogers has to walk back. South Africa are chuffed to bits, the Aussie camp look shocked. Smith went up to shook a disconsolate Rogers' hands. Chris Rogers run out (A Petersen) 107(237) [4s-12]

Jean-Paul Duminy [13.0-3-31-1] is back into the attack

The 3rd umpire has been called for a possible run-out chance? Chris Rogers is the man in question. When did the bails fall? Looks like Chris Rogers is OUT. Petersen was the man with the throw. What a moment to get out. The third umpire is taking his time. He wants to be absolutely sure. He is definitely short when the ball hit the stumps, but did he make it in by the time the bails fell off the groove? OUT is the call.

Eight more minutes remaining in the extra half-an-hour. Can Australia deny SA? Duminy is into the attack

out Lbw!! An effort ball this from Steyn. Really swung this good length delivery back in sharply, Harris is on the back foot to defend, he misses and the ball thuds into the pads in line with middle and leg. Umpire Dharmasena took ages to give the decision. He put his finger up and then Harris reviewed it. Unfortunately for him and Australia, Hawk-Eye says the ball will just hit the top of leg. Boy! That extra half an hour is doing wonders for South Africa! R Harris lbw b Steyn 6(29) [4s-1]

Phew! What a Test match this is. Given OUT LBW, reviewed by Harris. No issues with the no-ball, not an inside edge. And would you believe it? Umpire's call and Harris is a goner!

That too when it's not on the stumps, gets a clear nick, ABdV claims the catch. Can't blame him. He wont know if it bounced just before. Given OUT initially but the decision is overturned after a series of replays

Drama! Rogers has nicked one, caught down the leg side, umpire Illingworth says that's OUT, but he sends it upstairs. Oh this is a tough one for the third umpire. Looks like it's has bounced , or is it thuding into the finger? Too much of doubt! The zoomer now, probably, hit the ground I guess and the decision is overturned! The Australian dressing room is relieved!

Loud appeal for caught behind. The umpire says No. But South Africans are convinced and Smith asks for the review. No problems with the no-ball. Has he hit the ball? Doesn't look like the ball hit the bat, it had actually brushed the thigh. Easy call for the third Umpire. It's NOT OUT!

out Bowled!! Is that a replay of the first innings? No, it is live and happening now. Would you believe it? A carbon copy dismissal this. Looks like South Africa don't want to leave it to weather! Good length delivery swinging back in sharply, Haddin, who was rooted to the crease, looks to defend, but the ball sneaks through bat and pad and knocks over the middle pole. Steyn is excited. He runs towards the sticks and points out as to where exactly it is. An absolute treat this, if you are a fast bowler. Haddin b Steyn 1(12)

Dale Steyn to Steven Smith

W

out Lbw!! What a ball! Plumb in front! Stunning from Steyn. You just can't review that and Smith doesn't, sensibly so. Good length delivery reversing a long way back in, Smith was looking to push off the front foot, completely beaten by the sharp swing, struck right in front of middle and off. Umpire Dharmasena had no doubt in his mind. Steyn's pumped! He's jumping all over. He's on a hat-trick! What a bowling change from Graeme Smith. Two wickets in the over. S Smith lbw b Steyn 0(1)

out Caught by du Plessis!! Brilliant from Steyn, excellent from Faf and Australia are in deep trouble. This was pitched up further and shaped away slightly before straightening, Clarke was in no control as he looked to steer it past the slip cordon, the edge is found and it looked like it would fall just in front of 2nd slip. Faf dives forward and clings onto a stunner. Another failure for the Australian captain, SA are cock-a-hoop. Clarke c du Plessis b Steyn 1(16)

You can't afford to fall over while trying to play across the line, Marsh's done just that and he goes without disturbing the scorers.

37.1

Vernon Philander to Alex Doolan

0

no run, before we go any further, I would have to say, that was a dreadful shot from Doolan straightaway after the tea break. This length ball was at least 9 stumps outside off stump, the fact that it moved away very late makes a strong case to leave the ball, for some reason though, Doolan opts to play and ends up feeling for the ball. He is very lucky that it died down on its way to the keeper as it just bounced in front ABdV who was diving forward to complete the catch

Straightaway a caught behind shout, Illingworth goes to the square leg umpire and that's a sign that he thinks Doolan's hit the ball. Just the question of whether it carried. No issues with the no-ball. Oh my word! Has the batsman got lucky? Looks like the ball has just bounced before going into ABdV's gloves. Tough call this for Aleem Dar sitting in the air-conditioned box. NOT OUT is the final say!

Welcome back for the final session of the day. A good couple of hours for Australia here will see them stay alive in the game while a good outing for South Africa will take them closer to squaring the series.

Another good session for Australia. Rogers has done well to hang on after Duminy picked up Warner. He must consider himself lucky that South Africa did not take the review and will resume along with Doolan confidently. Australia have added 130 runs in this session and if they bat with composure, they can give South Africa quite a fightback. Meanwhile, the hosts must be disappointed about their lost chances and on a track where wickets are difficult to come by, this can prove costly for them. We will be back in a while with the final session...Stay glued....

Morne Morkel to David Warner

Welcome back.. The threat of rain forced Graeme Smith to go for an early declaration. Chris Rogers and David Warner looked at ease as the tourists knocked off 31 runs in quick time. With the forecast not so good for tomorrow, South Africa will need some quick wickets in this session.

Australia have done well to negotiate this mini-session before lunch. Both the openers looked calm and composed, especially Rogers who has hit a couple of beautiful shots. But they still have a long way to go. South Africa will need a few quick wickets after lunch if they have to put pressure on the opposition. However, with one bowler short, Graeme Smith will need to utilize his resources cleverly. Stay tuned and join us back for the post lunch action in a while...
